Go Faster. Stop Faster! The massive reduction of unsprung weight by (15.60 lbs combined set - front and rear) improves handling characteristics under all situations. This reduction in rotational inertia allows for quicker acceleration, decreased braking distances, and more responsive handling.
Features include: Aluminum hats: To save weight, each rotor ring is bolted to a lightweight aluminum hat made from high quality 6061-T6 aluminum, and hard anodized with an attractive matte black finish that is both durable and corrosion resistant. Gray cast iron rings: Long known for its wear resistance and stable friction characteristics, FC-30 cast iron is favored for brake rotors due to its ability to absorb and dissipate large amounts of heat. ECS rotor hats are bolted directly to the rotor ring for massive weight savings and better ability to dissipate braking temperatures.
Heat treated: Heat treating further reduces the tendency for rotor cracking by reducing internal rotor stresses. Directionally veined: Conventional rotors are straight-veined, and rely on an inefficient centrifuge-like effect to evacuate hot air from within the rotor. Cleaner and cooler brake pads result in faster, more consistent stopping.
Drilled holes are chamfered while slots are machined with a ball end mill - both to prevent cracking that may be present on improperly machined rotors. Lighter rotors reduce unsprung weight and rotational mass to improve vehicle acceleration, braking and suspension performance. Manufacturing quality: Non-friction ring surfaces, including internal vents, are painted to resist salt and other corrosives.
Ground braking surfaces ensure rings run parallel, and pads bed easily. Includes ECS Stainless Rotor Set Screws to eliminate rusty factory fasteners *** ECS does not recommend disassembling the two piece rotors*** Fits: Audi A3 Quattro 8V 2.0T
